We may be new, but we have some great friends already! An awesome reader came up with this recipe for those of us wanting to stick with clean eating, but who also enjoy a treat! Read on!

Banana Bread/Muffins!

4 T raw honey
1/4 t baking powder
1/2 t baking soda
1/2 cup of organic butter (but organic applesauce is way better)
3 1/2 large ripe organic bananas
2 eggs
1 1/2 cups Hodgson Mill wheat flour (GMO free- yay!)
1 t pure vanilla
nuts and shaved organic dark chocolate are optional!

Set oven to 375.

Combine all ingredients until well mixed (add 1/4 c chopped nuts if desired).

If using a muffin pan 20-25 min is perfect, 45 minutes (or until middle is cooked) if using a loaf pan.

Top with shaved chocolate before cooling (if you’re into that 😉)

THANK YOU to reader Nikki Calcione for sharing her secrets with us!

And thank you to this Prince, for taste testing them!
